I notice we really didn't have a topic over the galactic conquest.
I personally think we should move away from the turn based fleet movement that dominated BFII, and should move toward something a little less boardgame-ish.

Like spending points or something to move? Or something mario partyish.

Oh no, something a little less like that.
I was thinking moving fleets was something you'd do in real time or something and fleets didn't cost incrementally more, they just have a set upkeep. The more you have on the field the more you have to upkeep, etc. I have more ideas, but I'm a little busy to right them all at this moment.

Why would you need points to move?

I think adapting the Empire at War style would work pretty well.

Are you saying, make it more like an RTS? where you can only build 'fleets' and fight out the battles between fleets in person?

That's actually not a bad idea.

Nooooooo!!!! Seriously, no. EAW wasn't fun and I don't want any ideas from that to touch BFIII. Maybe you can convince me on your idea though because as soon as I hear EAW I die a little inside.

I think he meant some real-time stragey elements could be use in galactic conquest. Not neccesarily EaW.

I see no problem with making it more RTS-esque, but not like EaW.

That would make it very interesting.

I didn't mean making Battlefront an RTS. I meant having a real-time galactic conquest map.
You can station various units on the planets you control, position your fleets in orbit, and each planet has a bonus associated with it.
